    Excited of my soon to be New Rack.
    This is currently being constructed. It will be a good home for my BP's.

    The size of each tank is 24"x20"x12" (LxWxH)

    They are all made of glass except for the front opening cover and edges are lined with aluminium. Each door has a lock and key.

    It measure 5ft in height. There are four opening bays with the lowest one being just an open Bay for smaller tubs and other snake stuff.

    Here is the sketch I did.

    It is priced at about $174.00

    It will replace my current setup:

    That's awesome. Where did you get it made? How is it getting heated?


    I like it!!!

    Well, we don't need heating here in the Philippines, our temps are perfect for them :)

    But if you do need heating, you can modify it to have under tank heaters If necessary.

    Thanks everyone! I am very excited to move my snakes in it, but that will have to wait till tomorrow. Spent a lot of time cleaning the front acrylic since the guys who delivered it put clear tape on it and it was such a mess to clean :( took about an hour just to clean it. Hitting the sack now and will clean the inside of the tanks tomorrow morning with an all purpose cleaner. I should be able to migrate the snakes by tomorrow evening :)

    Wow, what you pay for snakes over there makes up in prices for racks. Nice pickup!

    Thanks Guys, here is a photo of all the doors open. I had it cleaned this morning, so will migrate the snakes in later except for the Bee, who is still under quarantine until next week :-)

    It looks awesome but once I seen doors open made me question something. Is there no lip to hold substrate in?

    This is a good point, also water spillage and snake pee would be contained.

    it looks very nice very clean. a European feel to it i guess. i would add a lip by silicone a small strip of acrylic in the front so as the other posters pointed out you wont loose substrate or any liquid messes that may happen. or if you find a tray the right size that could slip in and act as a base to contain everything.
    again very nice.

    Thanks guys. You are right, I missed this out when I designed it, was thinking the whole time that it would just be layer of small layer of substrate. I plan to put a newspaper first and then the Aspen bedding.

    Will see what I can do to put a lipt on it, maybe about an inch Lip or an inch and a half.

    Thanks for the suggestion guys!

    @adamjeffrey: Thanks man! The Bumblebee morph and the color of the character jives too much I just had to make it lol :-)

    Looks like I have to put my snakes migration on hold first. I may have made the tank too hot. You see here in the Philippines we normally have around 83-85, at night we down to 78-80. I monitored the temps of new tank for a couple of hours during the day, it seems I am at 90 almost all the time. This would be too much right? Humidity is fine though. So I have movef the tank inside a room where the aircondition is always on, I will monitor the temps again, if temps go down to 85-87 the I will put the tank indoors instead of keeping them outdoors on my pateo.

    Or would it be ok to keep them in 90 tanks 24/7 witht the right humidity?

    I started new thread for my temp questions so you may answer there, thanks!

    Here is an update on the stopper (lip) I just had installed this PM.

    Hope I can solve the temps so I can move them in their new home already.

    I would cover the sides and back to help them feel more secure. Other than that I LOVE IT!!!!:gj:

    I am having a black over the top curtain made which aint done yet. So I can easily just cover it so they can have more freedom and take it off when needed :-)

    Thanks! Really very happy with it!
